15See Phlx Rules 803(i)(11)(a) and 803(l)(6)(A).In 

addition, on July 11, 2007, the Commission 

approved generic listing standards for ETFs based 

on international or global indexes. See Securities 

Exchange Act Release No. 56049 (July 11, 2007), 72 

FR 39121 (July 17, 2007) (SR–Phlx–2007–20). These 

newly adopted generic listing standards require, 

without limitation, that the most heavily weighted 

component stock of an index not exceed 25% of the 

weight of the index, the five most heavily weighted 

component stocks of an index not exceed 60% of 

the weight of the index, and that an index include 

a minimum of 20 component stocks.

the market, thereby reducing the 

burdens on issuers and other market 

participants and promoting competition, 

without compromising investor 

protection. 

The Commission notes that Phlx’s 

generic listing standards for Trust 

Shares and Index Fund Shares based on 

domestic indexes or portfolios will 

continue to require, without limitation, 

that the most heavily weighted 

component stock of an index not exceed 

30% of the weight of the index, the five 

most heavily weighted component 

stocks of an index not exceed 65% of 

the weight of the index, and that an 

index include a minimum of 13 

component stocks.15 Therefore, the 

Commission believes that indexes 

underlying ETFs will continue to be 

sufficiently broad-based in scope to 

minimize potential manipulation. 

Acceleration 

The Commission finds good cause for 

approving the proposed rule change, as 

amended, prior to the 30th day after the 

date of publication of the notice of filing 

thereof in the Federal Register. The 

Commission notes that Phlx’s proposal 

is substantially similar to a proposed 

rule change of another exchange 

recently approved by the Commission.16

Phlx’s proposal does not raise any novel 

regulatory issues and, therefore, the 

Commission believes that good cause 

exists for approving the filing in an 

expedited basis. 

Therefore, the Commission finds good 

cause, consistent with section 19(b)(2) 

of the Act,17 to approve the proposed 

rule change as amended on an 

accelerated basis. 

V. Conclusion 

It is therefore ordered, pursuant to 

section 19(b)(2) of the Act,18 that the 

proposed rule change (SR–Phlx–2007–

43), as modified by Amendment No. 1, 

be, and it hereby is, approved on an 

accelerated basis. 

For the Commission, by the Division of 

Market Regulation, pursuant to delegated 

authority.19
